“In the year 2989 of the Third Age, at the Lonely Mountain, a bold plan began to take shape. An expedition was assembled with a single, ambitious goal: to reclaim Moria and restore it to its former glory. For many of the exiled, this mission represented more than a military venture. It was the promise of a new home, a chance to rebuild what had long been lost.
Our captain carefully selected the members of the group, choosing those with the strength, skill, and resolve necessary for such a dangerous undertaking. Before agreeing to depart, however, the company negotiated improved terms. They demanded better contracts, more gold, and stronger provisions to ensure they would be properly supplied for the hardships ahead. The risks were immense, and they would not face them unprepared or undervalued.
Not everyone supported the expedition. Some voices spoke against it, fearing the dangers that lay in the depths of Khazad-d没m. Yet despite the doubts, one thing was clear: without the blessing of the King under the Mountain, the mission could lose its momentum.
The Khazad-d没m Krusaders stepped forward to petition the king directly. They presented their case with determination and passion, arguing that reclaiming Moria was both a duty and an opportunity. However, even with their mighty efforts and persuasive words, the king remained unconvinced. His blessing was withheld, and the Krusaders left with a deep sense of disappointment.”
